Transfer
Hey :)
I don't know why but I always wait to write this email hahah and end up having to rush it, so, my bad! hahah Next time I'll try and write it first!
So I got my transfer call on Saturday...I'm leaving Durrës! It's been a good few months but I think I'm ready for something new!! I love Durrës and the members here and I will miss them a lot!! However I am really excited for my new call! I'll be going to a city called Shkoder! It is a pretty small branch, but hey I wouldn't want it any other way! haha
My new companion will be Elder Penrod! Who I roomed with in the MTC! I am really excited to serve with him! He is seriously such a nice guy, funny too! I've served with 6 people from the MTC haha. I had a good time with Elder Outsen, and it was a bummer we only got 2 weeks to serve together, but I'm ready to learn from Elder Penrod!
I've also heard that Shkoder is a really beautiful city so maybe I won't stink at taking pictures, this transfer haha sorry about that! I'm really excited that the Lord is sending me there and I hope that I will be able to put my pride aside and put His will first and do what He is sending me there to do! I know that this is His work and He directs it and I'm excited to be a worker in His vineyard!
I hope that you have an awesome week!!
Love you and miss you!

Hey Everyone!
So this was my first week with Elder Outsen and it was good week! It was a slow week as far as the work goes, but it was still good! Elder Outsen is awesome and I'm happy to be serving with him! Although transfers are next week so who knows what will happen then?
As much as I like serving with Elder Outsen I am ready to leave Durrës, especially for my last little stretch!! I love Durrës but as my life illustrates I am more used to moving around to different places, so I'm ready for a new area, but I will be happy to serve anywhere that the Lord sends me!
So this week we had a few lessons and did some finding. Mostly street contacting and tracting. Neither were very successful but we met some cool people and hopefully this week will be a lot better! We are gonna continue to try to find people and also meet with the investigators that we have and are teaching!
So I know have just under 5 months left until I return home. I have to tell you, it feels like the time is just shrinking and shrinking! It is going by so fast!! but I am grateful for the time that I have had our here and for the time that I have left! I have learned many things on my mission, and I am excited to learn even more! Missions really are incredible opportunities for us to learn and grow! and I love my mission!
I have learned so much about our Heavenly Father and our Savior and Their plan for us! They love us more than we can comprehend and we are safe in Their hands if we trust them and depend on them!
I love you guys and miss you!!
Have an awesome week!
